Paris scene and Ivy writers

Ivy Writers - Monthly Bilingual Experimental Poetry Reading Series in Paris.

In 1993, Jennifer K Dick moved to France for the first time, but it was only after returning to Paris following her MFA in 1999 that Dick became involved with a young North American writing scene.

In 1999, Dick became editor-in-chief for the Paris-based international literature and arts review Upstairs at Duroc (issues 2–6). At this time, Dick met American poet and translator Michelle Noteboom (author of Edging, Cracked Slab Books, 2005). George Vance, Michelle Noteboom, current Upstairs at Duroc editor Barbara Beck and Jennifer K Dick formed a four-voice poetry performance group called "Quadriphonics" which drew a full house at each of its events.

In 2005, Dick and Noteboom co-founded IVY Writers Paris series for bilingual readings in Paris. Ivy Writers [23] promotes exchange between authors from France and primarily the US with monthly readings for the public. These performances bring together prominent poets from various countries who work primarily in an experimental vein of writing. In spring 2016 Ivy Writers Paris acquired association 1901 status with the intention of eventually publishing a bilingual anthology of work by Ivy Writers Paris authors.

As an extension of the community writing activities in Paris, Jennifer K Dick has guest edited Ivy Writers Paris sections for Paris Lit Up Magazine, and became in 2009 a poetry editor for the Amsterdam-based review Versal Literary Journal.

In 2011, Dick began co-curating with Contemporary Art Center Director Sandrine Wymann a tri-annual mini-residency in French for French authors at La Kunsthalle Mulhouse, [24] France called "Écrire L'Art". [25] For 10 years, authors from all corners of France, but also from Lebanon, Italy and Germany participated in this residency, including: Jérôme Mauche, Virgine Poitrasson, Frédéric Forté, Véronique Pittolo, Jean-Michel Espitallier, Daniel Gustav Cramer, Michaël Batalla, Stéphane Bouquet, Cécile Mainardi, Martin Richet, Eric Suchère, Hyam Yared, Anne Portugal, Andrea Inglese, Christophe Fiat, Dominique Quélen, Frank Smith, Christophe Manon, Sandra Moussempès, Deborah Heissler, and Luc Bénazet. A book designed by graphic artist Jérôme Saint-Loubert Bié [26] from the first ten years of this collaborative residency including writing from these 21 poets appeared in Fall 2019: Dossier des ouvrages exécutés, écrire l'art. [27] [28]

Starting in September 2019, the format of this residency mutated. In this format of "Ecrire l'Art II" a single author is invited in to the museum and the university three to four times during the year, corresponding with the three to four main exhibitions at the Kunsthalle. Each fall, a volume of work will designed once more by Jérôme Saint-Loubert Bié is published. In 2019-2020 the Marseilles poet Laura Vazquez [29] was the first author in residency for this new version of Écrire l'Art. Given the special Covid-19 circumstances, her residency was extended into 2021. This resident was followed by Vannina Maestri [30] and current (2022) Nicolas Tardy.
